Some of my choices are budget choices as this is like my 7th or so EDH deck and I only have one copy of some of the choice stuff. If I like the concept though I will put more money into it.
Hey man, if you still haven't found a Knowledge Exploitation, pm me your address and I will mail you one. I have plenty of spares.
Hey man thanks for the offer, but I do plan on ordering it on payday(maybe even in foil if I feel rich), I have just had other things on my plate recently. I appreciate the offer though.
In other news....
I lost to my arch nemisis tonight, The Roon guy (Thomas), took him down to 4 life before he killed me, and once I died he ran away with the game and won. Once Roon gets online it is next to impossible to get rid of Prophet of Kruphix with all the recursion and blink. I am almost tempted to throw in Jokulhaups for my Roon match ups.
Edit: also Thada Adel was awesome at exiling combo pieces, I got her out later so I didn't need mana but she worked great in a removal role.
Malignus looks quite poor without any evasion. I guess it's good if you can drop it in to empty table, but otherwise it looks like it would be chump blocked all day long.

Malignus lets me keep up constant pressure, it forces opponents to deal with him or get smashed, he actually lets me do more general damage, because they have to deal with Malignus. He is truly an all-star in my deck, and once again thanks to Ambi-Duck for suggesting it.
Edit: I also have a Progenitus player in one of my groups, its nice for that too.
I really like Avenger of Zendikar but lately I have been running into Massacre Wurm a lot as several people have started playing it.
Multani is probably an odd-ball choice but I wanted to try it because Roon cant blink it out of combat. If I find it not hitting hard enough in my meta I will probably replace it with Simic Sky Swallower
If Roon is a problem, what about something like Crater Helion or Phyrexian Ingester?
Its not that hard to get out of the way of a Phyrexian Ingester with all the blink in his deck, but Crater Hellion, screws with Roon in so many ways. That is a truly awesome idea, I shall try to get one of those next week.
I am hoping to get a Karn tonight, if the guy wants to trade it.
Anything that assaults their board state AND has an EtB ability should be very cute. A quick glance through Gatherer confirms that Crater Hellion is probably best for this.
Also, I guess I didn't chime in on Malignus. He takes out a player in two hits and has virtually no chance of getting chumped to death in the process. He can't plow through a token horde, but we're strong against those already. It's the combo player who's unlikely to have more than a critter or two in play that we're more worried about. Is it feasible that this should be Multani/Hellkite Tyrant/Giant Adephage/Balefire Dragon instead? Absolutely. Am I possibly overlooking something like I overlooked Karn Liberated? Absolutely possible.
I think one of the coolest things about Wanderer is, so many things can work well in this deck, it just depends on what works best in your meta and your personal favorites. I think all of the above you mentioned are great cards and would probably work just fine in most meta's, so at this point I am just trying them as I get them and see which ones I like the best.
Duplicant is a great card, but with the pure speed this deck explodes into, sometimes Duplicant has no target, and I would rather not miss a cascade. (I also needed him in my Norin deck)
I am building a maelstrom wanderer deck and originally i just wanted to put in huge things like malignus and such with creatures like thunderfoot baloth and siege behemoth along with Xenagos, God of Revels and Nylea, God of the Hunt to try and just beat face with and using Thassa, God of the Sea to get commander damage in. I am starting to think that this may not be the best approach because I usually get screwed having all of my mana rocks destroyed and I can't cascade and it just seems that putting in Maelstrom staples like Phantasmal Image to copy my opponents Kozilek, Butcher of Truth and blinking these with Cloudstone Curio is better. I am very undecided... Also I see that a lot of wanderer decks dont use Arcanis the Omnipotent for card draw and such but I find it to be very good given that if we cascade into him we get 3 cards immediately. Anyhow, I rant what do y'all think?

I mainly took Kiki out because he was needed in another deck, not because it was performing poorly.
For now, Crystal Ball is a poor man's top.

I usually get GGG off of Rofellos, so it works out. I usually go for Forest-types first when I fetch. Typically I get Wanderer out on turn 4.

The deck has been running great thus far, going to try it out with one less ramp piece to see if I can maintain the speed and have one more haymaker.
